I think they sound like good ideas. I'm not sure about #7 though about deleting archives maybe 2x per year.
I think #8 is an excellent idea - that a poster can edit/delete a post within a certain time-frame. I think that is a very very good idea & I bet it might even eliminate some PBC's ! !

Muffled, I wanted to ask you something. Do I have your permission to babblemail you?
